Directing Forces

It’s complicated for beginners to operate the corps.
However, because all military units fight automatically,
you might want to start rough operation at first.
Also you can give the careful instructions if you understand the way of functions.

The simplest operating of the battle is…
Choose one or plural military corps by clicking the each icons or the button of the left blue icon.
↓
After selecting corps, Right-click the place where you want the corps to go, and decide direction by Right-drag.

When you order the corps, you should push the space key in order to stop the game and think.

If you want to cancel the selecting corps, left-drag on the empty space.
when you click the left-click during selecting corps, the arrowhead will be shown on the clicked point.
And all selecting corps start to aim at that point.

If you cancel that order of aiming, cancel the selecting corps and click [Norm] or [Spcl] button.
